Following the state Supreme Court's decision in <em><a href="http://www.nmcompcomm.us/nmcases/nmsc/slips/SC34,306.pdf">Griego v. Oliver</a></em> [pdf], <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/12/19/us-usa-gaymarriage-newmexico-idUSBRE9BI11E20131219">New Mexico has become the 17th U.S. state to legalize same-sex marriage</a>.

Shipphttp://www.metafilter.com/112523/United%2DStates%2Dv%2DShipp
The Supreme Court of the United States has held only one criminal trial in its history: <a href="http://www.abajournal.com/magazine/article/a_supreme_case_of_contempt/"><em>United States v. Shipp</em></a>. The <a href="http://law2.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/ftrials.htm">Famous Trials</a> project has <a href="http://law2.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/shipp/shipp.html">an excellent page on <em>United States v. Shipp</em></a>, including primary sources, trial transcript excerpts, and contemporary newspaper accounts.
The case produced two opinions: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Shipp">United States v. Shipp</a>, <a href="http://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=17495716837459818851">203 U.S. 563</a> (1906) (addressing preliminary matters and holding that the trial could proceed) and United States v. Shipp, <a href="http://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=5101549760021466969">214 U.S. 386</a> (1909) (delivering the result in the trial).
It's not addressed clearly in the case, so in case you're wondering: the reason that the Supreme Court had <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_jurisdiction">original jurisdiction</a> in the case despite the limits of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_Three_of_the_United_States_Constitution#Section_2:_Judicial_power.2C_jurisdiction.2C_and_trial_by_jury">Article Three, Section 2</a> is that the Court had appellate jurisdiction over Ed Johnson's habeas corpus case, and thus had the power to issue necessary orders in aid of its jurisdiction, including holding state officials—such as Shipp—in contempt. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ex_parte_Young">Ex parte Young</a>, 209 U.S. 123 (1908); <a href="http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/ampage?collId=llsl&fileName=001/llsl001.db&recNum=204">Act of Sept. 24, 1789, ch. 20, § 14</a> (the Judiciary Act of 1789). tag:metafilter.com,2012:site.112523Tue, 07 Feb 2012 21:52:21 -0800jedicusHow to Make Smart Decisions in Less than 60 Secondshttp://www.metafilter.com/107349/How%2Dto%2DMake%2DSmart%2DDecisions%2Din%2DLess%2Dthan%2D60%2DSeconds
